Steamed Ginger Salmon and Asparagus in Black Bean Sauce (, ).
A full Asian-style meal in the rice cooker! The rice is cooked below while the salmon and asparagus steam above.
Machine: Large (10-cup) rice cooker; on/off only Cycle: Regular
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Wash or rinse the rice, if desired. Place it in the rice cooker with the water; add 3 cups water for Japanese-style rice, 3-1/4 cups for domestic.
Make the sauce. In a small bowl, stir together the black bean garlic sauce, sake, and sugar. Place the asparagus in a medium-size bowl and toss with half of the sauce.
Line the steamer basket with a single laver of chard, cabbage, or lettuce leaves. Place the salmon in the center of the basket. Cut 6 slits in the fish; insert a ginger slice into each slit. Spread the remaining sauce over the fish. Arrange the asparagus around the fish. Place the steamer basket in the rice cooker. Close the cover and set for the regular cycle.
When the machine switches to the Keep Warm cycle, let steam for 10 minutes. Check for doneness; the salmon and asparagus should be cooked through. If not, cover again and allow the fish to finish cooking, checking at 10-minute intervals.
Garnish with the green onions and serve.
